This is a gate that all new Hunters must enter.
Everyone who aspired to be a Hunter entered because they could awaken new abilities by clearing the tower.
Of course, it is possible to awaken abilities even without entering the tower.
After all, the ‘Tower of Tutorials’ is a relatively new place.
The first-generation Hunters were typical cases of those who gained their abilities on their own without relying on the awakening of this tower.
And Siwoo, one of those first-generation Hunters, sighed as he looked at the monster in front of him.
Troll Tiger.
It is infamous for its immense destructive power and its characteristic cruelty.
Many senior Hunters who cleared the ‘Tower of Tutorials’ used to say this when they were training aspiring Hunters.
“Don’t mess with Troll Tigers.”
Of course, there were many stronger monsters than them on the next floor.
However, the reason why people avoided Troll Tigers was not because of their strength, but because of their strange nature.
They had a terrible hobby of not killing their prey all at once, but instead playing with it painfully until it died.
After seeing their colleagues die with their skin peeled off and their intestines spilled out, the Hunters had no choice but to designate Troll Tigers as one of the most dangerous targets in the ‘Tower of Tutorials.’
“H. . . h. . . we have to run away. . . .”
Shin Ji-soo, who was standing behind Siwoo, whispered.
Her voice was a mixture of urgency and fear.
Siwoo turned his head slightly to check her face. It was a face that was pale with fear.
“Why?”
“T-Troll Tiger. . . it’s a monster that we absolutely must run away from.”
“Why should we run away?”
“W-Why do you ask! That’s what we’re taught. Can’t you tell by looking at its scary appearance?!”

“Shut the fuc. . . anyway, wait.”
Siwoo was about to curse at the inner voice, but then he changed his words when he realized Shin Ji-soo was there.
After living with the Freeloader for 100 years, he wasn’t used to conversations with other people.
He walked heavily toward the Troll Tiger herd.
โRoar
A Troll Tiger bared its teeth at Siwoo.
The face that resembled a troll’s hideousness distorted strangely.

Siwoo burst out laughing at those words.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve agreed with you.”
And then he lightly emitted mana, put it on both fists, and with strength in his hind legs, he jumped forward, pak, in front of it.
The Troll Tiger was startled by Siwoo, who had suddenly appeared in front of it, and staggered backward.
It had missed the timing to attack due to the unexpected movement.
Seizing that moment, Siwoo’s fist slammed into its jaw.
Puck!!
The Troll Tiger’s jaw was crushed, its eyes rolled back, and it collapsed to the ground.
Thud!
Siwoo’s gaze immediately turned to another Troll Tiger.
His new body moved like a ray of light once again, delivering an uppercut to the other’s side.
Pow!!
โGroar?
The Troll Tiger’s mouth bubbled with a mixture of blood and foam, and it collapsed and died a few seconds later.
And before it could even die, his fist was crushing another enemy’s skull.
The monster’s head exploded with the sound of a walnut being cracked.
Siwoo clicked his tongue.
He spoke as if spitting out words in a cold and slow tone.
“Damn it, blood got on me.”

Siwoo ignored those words and walked slowly back to Shin Ji-soo. She could only stare blankly at Siwoo.
An aspiring Hunter who climbed the Tutorial Tower killed three Troll Tigers with a single blow, and in less than a minute?
This was impossible and absurd.
Even Ryu Ji-hwan, who was known as a genius, wouldn’t have been able to do this.
‘๐๐จ ๐๐ฉ ๐ง๐๐๐ก๐ก๐ฎ ๐ฉ๐ง๐ช๐ ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฉ ๐๐ ๐๐๐ข๐ ๐๐ง๐ค๐ข ๐๐ฃ๐ค๐ฉ๐๐๐ง ๐ฌ๐ค๐ง๐ก๐? ๐๐ค๐ฌ ๐๐๐ฃ ๐๐ฃ ๐๐จ๐ฅ๐๐ง๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ช๐ฃ๐ฉ๐๐ง ๐๐ ๐ฉ๐๐๐จ ๐จ๐ฉ๐ง๐ค๐ฃ๐?’
Siwoo asked her bluntly, his gaze different from before.
“What?”
“H-Huh? Oh, no. You’re just, you’re so strong. . . .”

Siwoo frowned slightly, then ignored the inner voice and continued speaking.
“But you’re taught to ‘run away’?”
“They teach that in the guides to the Tutorial Tower and at the academy. . . ‘Don’t fight certain monsters, run away.’”
Shin Ji-soo replied cautiously.
To be honest, even from her perspective as someone who was explaining it, there was something awkward about it.
Siwoo let out a bitter laugh when he heard those words and recited mockingly.
“It’s become easier to be a Hunter these days. You can even run away from monsters.”
“Then what do you do when such a strong enemy appears?”
Siwoo thought for a moment with an indifferent look in his eyes, then opened his mouth.
“What do you do? You have to use Violenccccce.”
